Erm...how would muscle endurance give you more strength? They are opposite ends of the scale lol.
Near 1 rep max (very heavy weight) for minimal reps produces best strength gains. Around 15-20 is endurance i think.
Look at it this way, cross country runners, usually pretty skinny.
100m sprinters, big powerful quads - generally speaking.
